Mint Chocolate Chip Fat Bombs

Mint Chocolate Chip has always been one of my favourite flavours and Fat Bombs are one of my favourite keto treats, so it's only natural that I combined the two to make this awesome treat.

I love how easy fat bombs are - you dont have to turn on an oven and there's no crazy baking technique that you need to learn.  Just mix everything together and freeze! The only downside would be having to wait for them to harden before eating!

I personally store these, along with most of my treats, in the freezer.  This is simply so they will last a long time and I don't have to worry about shelf life.  They are definitely good frozen, but if you like, or need, something softer, I suggest leaving these in the fridge.  Or at least taking some out of the freezer and letting them defrost before eating.  I don't have the patience for this, so I just eat them frozen!

I used mint extract for flavouring and stevia for sweetness.  These can be adjusted based on your personal preferences, depending on how minty and how sweet you like things.  Alternatively, if you have a mint flavoured sweetener, that would probably work just as well (maybe better!).

With only one carb and less than 100 calories, these are a great snack and a great way to get you through until your next meal.

Ingredients:


 

1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature

stevia, to taste

5. Enjoy!

Keto Cinnamon Cookies

I have taken some time off from the world of blogging and baking for the last bit; mainly to really focus on my weight loss.

I was stalled for about 2 months with no weight loss and during that time I was trying to cut so many things out of my diet in order to finally break the stall.  This meant no keto treats and no new recipes to try out.

Fortunately, I was finally able to break my stall and I finally got into the 140's!  That's right, the 150's are now a thing of the past (hopefully!)

These cookies are pretty basic, but delicious nonetheless.  They are similar to shortbread cookies, but with a hint of cinnamon that gives it a nice pop.  If you enjoyed my Cinnamon Muffin recipe, you are sure to enjoy this one as well!

The only helpful tip for this recipe would be to make sure you let them cool before taking them off the pan.  When hot, they are soft and will crumble easily, but give it ten minutes and they will firm up and you'll be able to lift them easily.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut flour1/4 cup cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp Truvia (or equivalent sweetener)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder









Directions:
1. Mix together butter, cream cheese & Truvia

2. Add in vanilla and egg, mix well

3. Add coconut flour, baking powder and cinnamon; mix well

4. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes to firm

5. Roll into balls and press down onto lined pan

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes

7. Let cool on pan

8. Enjoy!
